BUZZ ALDRIN
Aldrin signs a 5x3 card with and inspirational quotation
Autograph Quotation signed: "Buzz Aldrin", 1p, 5x3 card. In
full: "No dream is too high for those with their eyes in the sky. With
Best Wishes." Aldrin, a 1951 West Point graduate, had flown 66 missions
in Korea, winning the Distinguished Flying Cross. He flew F-100s in Germany
before persuading the Air Force to send him to M.I.T. for a doctorate. Although
he was turned down for the astronaut program in 1962, Aldrin was later aboard
one Gemini mission (Gemini 12), and became a close friend of astronaut Ed
White, one of the Apollo I astronauts who died in a launch pad fire.
Aldrin and Apollo 11 Commander Neil Armstrong left the patch from that
ill-fated mission on the surface of the Moon. During the Apollo 11
mission, Aldrin had piloted the Lunar Excursion Module, Eagle, and became
the second man to walk on the Moon (July 20, 1969). Fine
condition.

NASA EXPERIENCE:

Aldrin was one of the third
group of astronauts named by NASA in October 1963.

On November 11, 1966, he and command pilot James Lovell
were launched into space in the Gemini 12 spacecraft on a 4-day flight, which
brought the Gemini program to a successful close. Aldrin established a new
record for extravehicular activity (EVA), spending 5-1/2 hours outside the
spacecraft.

He served as lunar module pilot for Apollo 11, July
16-24, 1969, the first manned lunar landing mission. Aldrin followed Neil
Armstrong onto the lunar surface on July 20, 1969, completing a 2-hour and 15

In July 1971, Aldrin resigned from NASA. Aldrin has
logged 289 hours and 53 minutes in space, of which, 7 hours and 52 minutes were
spent in EVA.

Prior to joining NASA, Aldrin flew
66 combat missions in F-86's while on duty in Korea. At Nellis Air Force Base,
Nevada, he served as an aerial gunnery instructor. Following his assignment as
aide to the dean of faculty at the Air Force Academy, Aldrin flew F-100's as a
flight commander at Bitburg, Germany. He went on to receive a doctorate at MIT,
and was then assigned to the Gemini Target Office of the Air Force Space Systems
Division, Los Angeles. In March 1972, Aldrin retired from Air Force active duty,
after 21 years of service. As a USAF jet fighter pilot during the Korean War, he
shot down two MIG 15 aircraft.

Since retiring from NASA, the Air Force, and his position
as commander of the USAF Test Pilot School at Edwards Air Force Base in 1972, he
authored an autobiography, "Return to Earth". Aldrin has remained at the
forefront of efforts to ensure a continued leading role for America in manned
space exploration to advance his life-long commitment to venturing outward in
space.

In addition, he lectures throughout the world on his
unique perspective of America's future in space. He has just authored a book
about the Apollo Program titled "Men from Earth".
